This podcast is a really interesting discussion of how we align ourselves with people in our own "in group," even if it was just decided arbitrarily a few minutes before. It affects our judgment, our sense of fairness, our perception of others' wrongdoing, our choice of who we'll date...
And, if you take inveterate enemies and make them play on the same sports team, they reduce their ill will towards that other group. (e.g. the arrival of a Muslim soccer superstar induced decreased acts of racism and lower rates of tweets against Muslims in his home team's city.)
